On this day, the clouds of blood and death covered the whole land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Flocks of pitch-black crows hovered in the air, looking down on the filthy and foul-smelling battlefield, and they seemed to be eager to land and feast on their feasts.

The fierce battle continued, the personal bravery, the cooperation of the army, and the sweet smell of blood filled the air, which inexplicably made the blood in Zhu Peng's body boil.

Darkness came, bringing war, killing, and endless death, only to feel that this originally weak body was gradually becoming more powerful, although there was still no change in personal attributes, but Zhu Peng inexplicably knew that his actual strength had become stronger.

Compared to the actual demon, the pirate king Nabal, who is standing on the front line with a battle axe at this moment, looks more like a veritable demon in the eyes of all beings!

He wields a heavy axe like a helicopter propeller in his right hand and an iron glove on his left hand, and occasionally throws a heavy punch that knocks the enemy in front of him off the narrow siege tower bridge.

The viscous crimson blood spread all over his body along the cracks in the armor, and this man seemed to have endless exuberant energy on the battlefield, and the more he fought, the more exuberant and ferocious he became:

"Young Master Rhodes, the strength of this Nabar as a sea coward is simply terrifying, and I suspect that he already has the level equivalent to the Nord royal guard...... After this war, do you really want to let him go, and do business with him, open up dirty channels?

Young master, I also know that this can indeed bring a lot of money, but as long as we get this involved, we will not be able to get out, and we will be firmly tied to these pirates. ”

Wearing a thick leather armor and carrying a heavy javelin and throwing axe, Old John guarded Zhu Peng's side and did not join the battlefield at the first time.

He and the six professional warriors behind him will be the last mobile force of the castle, and they will also be the only force to fill in the gaps and fill in the gaps.

Zhu Peng stood on top of the city, the wind blowing his blood-red cloak and rattling fiercely.

With his command, the rising thick planks of the arrow towers on both sides "click, click" blocked the almost pervasive and precise reverse arrows of the Virgian marksman below.

Of course, the shooters in Djerbo Fort will not be able to shoot enemy shooters either.

However, the towers on both sides of the castle extension are slightly higher than the wall and parallel to the siege tower bridge, which is the most wonderful and treacherous design of the fortification arrow tower, once opened, the archer with the defender of the arrow tower can attack the enemy infantry on the defense tower bridge with impunity, and unless the strong infantry unit equipped with an axe or javelin, other infantry units will not be able to counter this mid-air flanking attack.

Unless their archery units also go up to the tower bridge to fire back at the shooters on both sides, but that is impossible, the tower bridge is so narrow that the siege infantry who can't stand will fall, how can there be room for the shooters.

But if the infantry is withdrawn and the shooters are sent to clear the field, the infantry at the head of the defending city is not blind, and will definitely surprise up to attack the shooters, and it will be a slaughter like chopping melons and vegetables. Vegia archers often only have a short talisman dagger on their bodies, how can they cut down infantry units.

However, even under such a geographical disadvantage, when the ordinary infantry was replaced and Vigia's fifth-level infantry Vigia Guards came on the field, they still told Zhu Peng what elite they were, and why Vegia, the land of snow, was able to gain a foothold in the war-torn continent of Calradia.

When these samurai with large axes and thick leather armor bathed in the rain of arrows on both sides, and the roar and pounce seemed to be slow, even the unstoppable Nabal could not withstand it, and sparks erupted between the axes and the big axes, and although Nabar insisted, the pirates who followed him on both sides felt that it was difficult to support them.

These bloody Virgian guards were too ferocious, wielding long battle axes and clashing muscles, once they really attacked the city, they could basically declare the city of Fort Djerbo broken.

asked the doubts in his heart, but did not get an answer from his own young master, old John led the six professional samurai behind him with throwing weapons in both hands.

John Sr., Nabal, and even Viscount William are actually "limit breakers".

That is, the person who has broken through the limit of the ability of the class, this was originally the exclusive professional privilege of the nobility who is well-nourished and has been trained since childhood in the Calradia continent, but among the large number of civilian warriors, there are always one or two people who are successfully promoted to the limit breaker every few years.

Like Viscount William Caster, he also served as a fifth-level Vigia Guard, a fifth-level Vigian marksman, and a fifth-level Vigia knight.

Accurate archery, fast, accurate, and ruthless, he surpasses the ordinary Vigian marksman, and at the same time is the best Vigian knight commander, leading the cavalry to charge the battle often in the lead.

This is the real limit breaker, in contrast, Nabal is not yet fully formed, and old John is already old, he is not in the prime of life to break through and become a limit breaker, after the successful breakthrough in his later years, the attributes are superimposed, but it is already difficult to go further, he is a pseudo limit breaker. But this kind of "pseudo" is very difficult in the face of the prime-age limit-breaker, but there is no problem in the face of ordinary fighters, and it still has an overwhelming advantage.

The sturdy old man leaped over the city with both throwing weapons, first with a few powerful heavy javelin projections, nailing two Virgian guards who could walk up to the city on the spot, and then leading six fifth-level professional samurai behind him to plug the gap exposed by the pirate's retreat.

There were 30 Virgian guards of the fifth-level infantry on the siege side of Annina, and there were still more than 40 Virgian infantry in reserve, even after being killed and wounded.

Although there are two limit breakers on the side of Jerbo Fort, there are only six professional samurai heavy armor swordsmen who have just been hired, which can be described as an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and thickness, but they have the geographical advantage of defending the city.

All the infantry rushing from the siege tower bridge had to withstand the continuous rain of fire and arrows on both sides, not to mention, the tower bridge on the head of the city was only so narrow that at most two Vigia guards could accommodate the impact of two Virgian guards at the same time, they had to face the heavy sword slashing of old John and the six professional samurai behind him, and the casualties increased sharply for a while.

In particular, the warriors in front of them were blocked at the head of the city and could not rush up, and the warriors on the tower bridge had to bear the blows of the arrow rain from the arrow towers on both sides, and as time went on, more and more elite and powerful Vigian defenders fell under the arrows of the third-level Vigia guerrilla archers without fighting back.

The eight hired crossbowmen hired by Zhu Peng from the tavern had killed two of their companions in the previous battle, and their crossbows were almost empty.

Because there was no crossbow in the Virgian military system, the crossbows in Fort Djerber were all high-end goods used by the nobles, and the officials in charge of logistics could not decide whether to distribute these high-end crossbows as well.

"Of course it's sent, has the quartermaster's head been eaten by insects? Take some high-end crossbow arrows to exchange the lives of the enemy's fifth-level troops, this transaction has been profitable." ”

Standing at the head of the city, Zhu Peng's tall figure was as tough as a big gun standing there.

He deliberately chose a position to stand in such a clever way that all the warriors of Fort Gelebo could see the lord who had been on the front line, and although the big red flame cloak was extremely conspicuous and hateful, it also increased the cohesion and morale of the defending troops.

And the city wall in front of Zhu Peng has already been filled with dense arrows, and the surface of the wall can hardly be seen, no matter how fierce the Vigia marksman is, they will not change the trajectory of the guide arrow, and the second will not shoot the bursting arrow of the city wall, after all, they can't help Zhu Peng who is hiding behind the corner of the city wall.

The only danger is that as a commander of the army, sometimes you have to look down on the battlefield and make temporary deployments, at this time, the arrows under the city will almost be overwhelming, because the elite archers of the enemy below cannot attack the archers with thick planks erected, but can only attack the soldiers moving on the city.

Even the soldiers at the siege gate were difficult to shoot because of the obstruction of the soldiers, Zhu Peng, who was wearing a flaming cloak as the city lord, naturally became the focus of their firepower, followed by the forty Vigia light infantry who had just been promoted by the Junior Army, although they could not directly participate in this war, but as the main force of logistics, they constantly transported arrows for the arrow towers on both sides, transporting the wounded, and these battlefield newcomers were almost as soon as they showed their heads in the gap at the city's head, they would be shot in the head by the elite archers below.

So much so that when the war was at its most intense, Zhu Peng had to take the initiative to show his face from time to time to attract the enemy's archers' firepower, and then the logistics light infantry could complete the transportation of arrows and the transportation of wounded soldiers relatively smoothly.

With the crazy grinding of blood and death, Zhu Peng's strategic level is improving, and the entire Jeerbo Fort army is also advancing rapidly...... It is so huge, so old and weak, that when human beings are fighting selflessly, and the blood and fire of war are burning, the world origin of Zenda is contented to swallow the soul that has died and sublimated in this war.

That gesture is like an addict swallowing his last puff of poisonous cigarettes, and if you don't take this puff, you feel like you're going to die soon...... No, it's weakness and pain that life is worse than death.

(No wonder the war has been raging throughout the continent of Calradia for hundreds of years, and the origin of this world has been weakened to the point that it needs war blood sacrifices to replenish its strength, and the more war maniacs, the more favored by the will of the plane, the more blood, killing, and death are brought, and the better the luck...... Such a world has been deformed by the constant blood pumping of the wizarding world, and it should be rejuvenated after merging with the planes of necromancy and foresight. ）

With the continuous blood sacrifice, Zhu Peng continued to deploy troops to grasp the situation, his strategic level continued to improve, his leadership skills and defense skills have been improved, and the strategic offensive and defensive skills have also been opened.

Although at present, the increase in the defense of more than ten percent of the soldiers under his command is not too obvious, but as the war continues to prolong, the effect of Zhu Peng's talent and specialty on the defensive side is becoming more and more clear and significant, and finally, with the loss of more than half of the fifth-level Vigia Guards under his command, Annina's spiritual defense line on the battlefield for the first time completely collapsed, and she ordered the withdrawal of the army, ending the first siege battle on the first day...... In fact, this is the closest she has come to victory.

War is often a contest of willpower between the commanders of the two sides, just like nailing a nail, one hammer is smashed down, and if the nail is not nailed well, then another hammer will be smashed down.

The first siege battle was carried down, eighty-eight archers were killed and wounded twenty-six, there was a double defensive advantage of condescending and arrow towers, and so many people were shot and wounded, the name of the Vigian marksman unit is really worthy of the name, and many people say that the Vigian marksman unit is inferior to the Rhodok marksman.

The reason is that Rhodok's marksmen are heavily armoured, and their close combat is not inferior to most infantry of the same level, not to mention, their powerful crossbows make them not weak or even have an advantage when they are against the same number of Vidja marksman troops, because although the attack frequency of the Vidok's marksman troops is high, the leather armor defense on their bodies is too weak, and they can only be killed when they shoot against Rhodok marksmen under the premise of the same number.

The commander who would say this will undoubtedly only fight a downwind battle with the upper hand, and crush and win the opponent by crushing the turtle with a big stone when the strength of his own army exceeds that of the opponent.

Therefore, they simply did not realize what kind of strategic significance the high-frequency covered parabolic strike of the Virgian marksman had on the battlefield with the cooperation of multiple arms, no matter how strong the Rhodok marksman was, the crossbow would also shoot in a straight line in parallel, and they would never be able to complete the multi-rank crossfire strike like the Virgian archer troops.

Rhodok's heavily armored marksmen are very cost-effective, but in the hands of a truly skilled commander, the Virgian archer troops will always be more valuable than the crossbowmen, because all large and medium-sized battles are multi-class battles. Of course, there are occasional veteran nobles who are extremely valuable and lead the knights to rush all over the world, but no country can afford to form a full army of knights.

............

Old John walked off the battlefield with blood all over his body, and two of the six professional warriors behind him fell, one dead and one wounded, Zhu Peng personally walked over and helped the wheezing old man down the city wall, and he didn't look at Nabar, who was also covered in blood next to him, and this insult made the Pirate King's eyes red.

However, he could only vent his anger on the Haikou who had just retreated beside him, and Rod Custer's meaning was very clear...... You're still planning to build a pirate kingdom like this?

After a great battle, two mercenary crossbowmen, nine Vigia guerrilla archers were killed, seventeen guerrilla archers were unconscious, twenty-five pirates fell, eight were killed and seventeen were wounded, six professional samurai were killed and one wounded, the Calradian people were very strong, and the wounded warriors here could often recover in the following days of recuperation, but this time the battle could not be counted on.

However, under the effect of the magic diffusion of the shattered first-level fire gems, many fighters, especially the marksmen, who have gone through this big battle, have been promoted, after all, in the middle and late stages of the war, the shooter troops of Fort Jerbo have almost zero counterattacks and tilt damage to the enemy, shooting a large number of powerful troops two levels higher than their own level, and then superimposing the effect of smashing fire gems to greatly increase experience gain, it is unreasonable not to get promoted.

Therefore, although the number of archers has decreased, with more than half of the archers promoted to fourth-level Soldier Virgia Archer, Zhu Peng did the math and felt that the long-range attack advantage of the previous side was probably increasing instead of decreasing.

On the other hand, the loss of strength under Anina's command is really nerve-wracking, those under her command are almost top-level elite troops, and there is no strength to replenish at this time, it is really one less to die, especially after today's battle, Annina, who was embarrassed and angry, also killed the pirates who escaped in the team in public to make up for morale, and the shrinkage of troops became more and more serious.

The marksman troops that did not make it to the city are still easy to say, with twelve fourth-level shooters killed and wounded, and five fifth-level marksmen.

The real casualties were the infantry group, with only 12 of the 30 Vigia guards killed and wounded, and nearly half of the 70 4th class Viggia infantry killed and wounded, only 38 remained...... However, Anina, whose troops were so damaged, couldn't let go, and when she left the city, the elite corps of 150 people was killed and wounded, and 83 people were killed and wounded, and most of them were lost.

Standing under the city and looking up at the castle of Jerpo, I was full of ambition when I came, how could I have thought that I would run into a bloody head in this inconspicuous little place!

In Annina's eyes, a crazy pale green flame burned, and the ferocious aura overflowed.

On the head of the city of Fort Djerpo, Zhu Peng pressed the blood-stained stone wall with one hand, looking at the soldiers of the day tile cart who had been logging overnight below, Annina still didn't think about it, she was in a hurry to kill the pirates to save morale, but she lost face and lost her heart, and the elite soldiers of Virginia, who had just been comforted in their hearts, could not get the slightest respite, so they had to drag their tired bodies to cut down trees overnight to make siege tower bridges.
